Horizons Unlimited - The HUBB

Hi to all forum members

I have been occasionally lurking around here for the last 6 months as well as on the Adventure Bike Rider forum. I suppose from the start, I would classify myself as a motorcyclist who has started to develop an unhealthy interest in overland travel rather than an overlander for whom a motorcycle is just a means of ‘getting there’

I’ve been riding since 1991 & had quite a few road bikes (mainly race reps) over the years. The back now aches & knees creak so even if I wanted, riding the latest Ninja Kamikaze 1300, isn’t a comfortable option. In any case, as I’ve gotten older but not wiser, both my interests & tastes have changed somewhat

At the moment I have 3 bikes: a 660Z Tenere

a 660X for hooning around town & a Ducati Monster which I use when I want to ride, but feel the need to leave my brain at home

Turning to matters 4-wheeled for the moment, I also have 2 Land Rovers, a Discovery & a 110 Defender CSW which is pretty much expedition ready & enough kit in the barn to get me round the world at least a couple of times. So, some of you might be thinking “Mr FM, why the hell aren’t you out on the road then” & this morning, as I sit in my air conditioned office in London, I am asking myself the exact same question
